Chapter 303: Sch Jing's Terrifying Charm, Buddha's Thirty-two Marks, and Martial Arts Exam Notice (4K)



"Master..."

Zong Shi Chan's face was filled with lingering fear as she recounted her recent experience.

She had come as usual to seek her master's attention and ask him to teach her martial arts, but unexpectedly, she found herself drawn to the mysterious allure of Sch Jing's cultivation.

The faint golden light emanating from his entire body seemed to possess an invisible power, filling the room and gradually seeping into her, affecting her mental state.

She hadn't even realized this influence, but her thoughts naturally shifted, and her admiration for Sch Jing transformed into devotion and even fanaticism, making her want to dedicate everything to him...

It wasn't until Sch Jing sensed something amiss and jolted her consciousness with his mental aura that Zong Shi Chan came to her senses.

Instinctively, she understood that if she had stayed a moment longer, she might have been irreversibly brainwashed, her memories intact but her entire being transformed.

That was a close call.

Sch Jing listened, furrowing his brows as he rubbed the little girl's head and said, "From now on, knock before entering my cultivation room. I'll let you in when I'm ready. Understand?"

Zong Shi Chan nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, Master."

Sch Jing hummed in acknowledgment, his eyes thoughtful.

This situation had occurred before. After entering the Heaven Blade Zen, he had intentionally shown off, which led Miao Miao to develop a certain degree of faith in him... as indicated by the system's prompt.

There was also Ning Yuante, and when he was on the cruise to Maple City, a large group of passengers had experienced a similar phenomenon.

Since then, Sch Jing had been cautious, and after comprehending Concealment, he constantly used his aura to suppress most of his abnormal charm.

'But even with utmost care, a single oversight could have led to irreversible consequences...'

Sch Jing's brows furrowed slightly.

The various martial arts he possessed, combined with his Level 10 Charm skill, produced an effect that was a bit over the top.

Previously, it had only caused people to temporarily develop faith, which increased their affection significantly but didn't erode their thoughts.

This time, his little disciple had almost been completely brainwashed.

He glanced at his attribute panel with a contemplative look.

Body: 1068

Mind: 1172

Limit Break: 11621

Saint: 6967

Status: &￥%￥%

The Saint attribute had increased by several hundred again...

'The ability to produce such an effect, nearly brainwashing someone instantly, is probably not solely due to the Supreme Nirvana Technique being too powerful.'

'Master never mentioned that the Nirvana Technique could brainwash others. At most, it would enhance the Buddhist aura, making one seem like a divine charlatan.'

'The reason for almost brainwashing Chan'er, aside from the Charm skill, might also be related to the Saint attribute...'

It seemed that this attribute had many unexplored functions.

Sch Jing began to consider whether he should try to transcend the Charm skill.

Perhaps after transcendence, he could find a way to control this troublesome, deadly charm... But there was also the possibility that after transcendence, the charm would greatly increase, making it completely uncontrollable.

What if, in the future, his parents and friends all became his followers? That would be hilarious.

He didn't want to witness such a scene, so he hesitated.

Shaking his head, he decided to put those thoughts aside for now and turned his attention to Zong Shi Chan.

"Come, let me teach you the Seamless Heaven technique to calm your nerves..."

...

Two days later, Sch Jing lay on his bed, his eyes closed, breathing deeply as he slept.

His sleeping posture was that of the Buddha's Lion's Reclining Nirvana, not a muscle moving, and a faint golden light emanated from his body, giving off a sense of solemnity and freedom.

At the precise moment the clock struck 5:00, without even a 0.01-second deviation, Sch Jing opened his eyes, and a flash of cobalt light passed through his eyes, pure and clear.

The golden light on his body gradually faded, and Sch Jing opened his panel to take a look.

[You cultivated the Supreme Nirvana Technique for a night, gaining 568 True Martial experience.]



[You cultivated the True Visualization for a night, gaining 667 experience.]



[You cultivated the Supreme Nirvana Technique for a night, gaining 1696 Sleep experience.]



[Sleep level increased to Lv5 (121/2000)]



Sch Jing sat up and stretched his body, his joints popping.

The effect of the Supreme Nirvana Technique was as legendary as its name suggested—incredible.

Just by sleeping, one could not only obtain rest many times better than normal sleep but also simultaneously gain experience in various skills, and the experience was substantial.

Especially for Sleep.

If not for Nourishment,

Now that his experience was maxed out and no further gains were possible, Xue Jing estimated that his nourishment-based experience would be similar to that of sleep, as the restorative effects of his sleep skill were visibly superior.

Xue Jing had already gained a good understanding of the effects of the 【Sleep】 skill.

This skill, similar to the Nirvana Technique, allowed him to rapidly restore his energy, stamina, and vitality through sleep, while also calming his mind and soul, gradually increasing his vitality limit.

It was as if the Nirvana Technique had received a significant boost, or vice versa, with the Sleep skill enhancing the Nirvana Technique.

The combination of the two skills resulted in a terrifying level of recovery for Xue Jing.

In the past, Xue Jing would forcibly heal his physical injuries by igniting his life force, pushing himself to the extreme in self-torture training. However, he dared not overdo it, as his vitality, though robust due to his nourishment, could still suffer permanent damage if excessively depleted.

This concept was similar to metal fatigue; bending a metal bar once or twice would not cause harm, but continuously bending it would lead to fatigue and, in severe cases, even breakage.

However, that problem no longer existed.

Regardless of how much vitality he expended, a good night's sleep, utilizing 【Sleep】 and 【Nirvana Technique】, would quickly replenish his energy, stamina, health, and mana bars, and even slightly increase his maximum capacity.

As a result, Xue Jing had been training relentlessly for the past few days.

He relentlessly practiced the Dragon Shaking Technique, Vibrating Armor Technique, and Yellow Granny Technique under twenty times the gravity of Dragon Thunder, healing his injuries by igniting his life force and continuing his intense training.

For nearly a dozen consecutive hours, he remained in a state of frenzied practice.

The True Martial upgrade, which initially required over 20,000 experience points, was now almost complete after just a few days. His True Visualization had directly leveled up to Lv11 (1261/20000).

The results were extremely pleasing. When he checked his attribute panel, his 【Body】 and 【Mind】 values had increased by over a hundred points each:

【Body】: 1195

【Mind】: 1286

His 【Mind】 value had surpassed that of his senior brother, and his 【Body】 value was not far behind.

Such progress in just a few days was terrifying, especially considering that skills like 【Fitness】, which directly enhanced his physical body, were no longer providing any improvements.

Moreover, his values differed from others in that they could be multiplied many times over through 【Twin】 and 【Infinite Spiral】, and he possessed the True Martial art, a unique physique, and the ability to exert greater combat power than ordinary individuals.

If he factored in temporary burst-type ultimate techniques like 'Reversed Scale: Heavenly Wrath', the results were even more astonishing.

Xue Jing closed the panel, got out of bed, and headed towards the bathroom.

Miao Miao had not been sleeping by his side. After the incident with his junior apprentice a few days ago, he no longer allowed those close to him to sleep beside him.

Recently, Miao Miao had been sleeping with the little maid, Yun Qin, which Xue Wan had objected to, but Xue Jing had overruled her.

Approaching the sink, he turned on the faucet and listened to the sound of running water as he gazed at his reflection in the mirror.

As he cultivated the Nirvana Technique, subtle changes began to manifest in his body.

His eyelashes had grown longer and more evenly spaced, and his eyes, originally a deep brown, now gradually took on a hint of cobalt.

He opened his mouth, revealing a set of neat and beautiful fine white teeth, and then extended his tongue upwards.

To his surprise, he effortlessly licked close to his eyebrows, his tongue's length being slightly frightening.

"Thirty-two Marks of Buddha..."

Xue Jing whispered.

According to Buddhism, as one cultivates, they gradually transform into a Buddha, and during this process, the body begins to exhibit certain 'Buddha' characteristics.

These characteristics are collectively referred to as 'Thirty-two Marks' and 'Eighty Auspicious Features'.

These features symbolize perfection, and among them, many 'Marks' will appear on the body, even for those not of the Buddhist path, once they leap over the Dragon Gate and break their limits. For example, the 'Forty Teeth Mark' causes one's teeth to fall out, and forty new teeth, flat and pure like snow, with a constant fragrance, will grow in their place.

And now, as Xue Jing cultivated the Nirvana Technique, his body seemed to gradually manifest some of these 'Thirty-two Marks'.

Long and even eyelashes - this is the 'Eyelashes Like a Bull King Mark'.

Eyes gradually turning cobalt - this is the 'Cobalt Buddha Eye Mark'.

Long tongue - this is the 'Tongue Broad and Long Mark'.

"There are signs, but the Marks have not fully formed..." It is said that the Buddha's 'Tongue Broad and Long Mark' allows the tongue to completely cover the entire face when extended, thin and soft, and broad and long.

Sch Jing touched his chin, thinking of something a little naughty.

"If I tell Ning Miao Miao about this, she'll probably act indifferent on the surface, but in reality..."

Shaking his head, Sch Jing pondered:

"If I really practice and end up with all thirty-two marks, that's a bit..."

The Thirty-two Marks of Buddha, while most enhance one's appearance, also include some rather extreme features.

'Tongue Broad and Long' is manageable, as it doesn't matter unless fully extended, but 'Top Hair Knot' is problematic, making one's head look like a mass of bumps... as if bitten by mosquitoes.

Sch Jing didn't want to become even more handsome, but he also didn't want to look ugly.

Not being a Buddhist, he didn't appreciate the 'Hair Knot' feature.

"With my True Visualization, I should be able to reject some of the Thirty-two Marks through subconscious aversion..."

Sch Jing quickly freshened up, not even brushing his teeth, just symbolically rinsing his mouth.

In truth, he didn't need to brush; his body was at its cleanest, nearly devoid of impurities. Unrestrained, his entire being would exude a pure fragrance, even after a night's sleep without eating.

Brushing was more of a habitual gesture, giving him the psychological satisfaction of cleanliness.

After finishing the breakfast prepared by Yunqin, Sch Jing left for the Dragon Concealment Dojo to cultivate.

The Dragon Concealment Dojo had been open for three days, and the number of students had skyrocketed from the triple digits to nearly three thousand.

The five-story arena was bustling like a school, with students everywhere, exchanging and practicing martial arts.

Consequently, Li Qi adjusted the dojo's member structure, adding a new position called 'Inner Disciple'.

Some senior students who excelled in their training were promoted to Inner Disciples, allowing them to cultivate more advanced Dragon Concealment Stream techniques without tuition fees and even earning a salary. They also received a monthly supply of secret medicines for their cultivation.

In return, they were responsible for teaching the new students... essentially becoming coaches.

Sch Jing and the other direct disciples rarely appeared, making it challenging for ordinary disciples to meet them.

Time flew by as Sch Jing practiced at the Dragon Concealment Dojo, taught Senior Sister Meng the Yellow Granny Skill, and instructed his junior apprentice in Seamless Heaven. Soon, it was already noon.

After finishing the chef's specially prepared medicinal lunch in the cafeteria, Sch Jing was about to return to his cultivation when his phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Du Shiwen, the homeroom teacher at Qingcheng Secondary School.

Sch Jing guessed the purpose of the call and answered with a smile:

"Hello, Teacher Du."

Du Shiwen's voice came through the receiver: "Sch Jing, it's me. How have you been lately?"

Du Shiwen's tone was devoid of the usual teacherly superiority, replaced by caution and almost flattery, despite directly addressing Sch Jing by name. It felt like he was speaking to a superior.

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher Du. Is there something you need?" Sch Jing smiled.

Du Shiwen hurriedly replied, "That's good, that's good... Well, as I mentioned before, I wanted to ask you to be an examiner for the Martial Exam. Do you still remember that?"

Sch Jing laughed, "Of course I remember. Please go ahead, Teacher."

Du Shiwen sighed in relief, "Good, good... The task has been assigned, and your examination venue has been allocated."

"The Ninth Examination Hall in the Inner Ring of the Seventh Metropolitan Circle."

Sch Jing's eyes glinted at this news.

Just as Wu Youqing had predicted, the examination venue assigned to him was indeed within the Seventh Metropolitan Circle.

The world's most developed martial arts region, the homeland of the Ultimate Martial King!

"I understand."

Sch Jing couldn't help but smile with excitement.

Things were getting interesting.

He wondered how the Secret Martial Society and other enemies would react... It was quite exciting to anticipate.

"The date is February 26th, nine days from now. Don't forget."

Du Shiwen reminded him.

"Rest assured, Teacher Du, I'm always punctual." Sch Jing assured him.

Du Shiwen, recalling the previous school sports day when Sch Jing had almost been late, forced a laugh, "Uh... good, good."

After chatting for a while longer, discussing recent school matters, Sch Jing hung up the phone.

"Nine days... I wonder if the boundary overlap issue in the Southern Urban District can be resolved within this timeframe."

He thought to himself.
